re: Of all the hot garbage appliances made today, the dishwasher has to be the worst

Currently running a mid tier GE. Been 2 years and no issues yet.

That being said, I am the Dishwasher General in our house. I load it and I unload it. Everyone in the house knows this.

Everything gets put in there nice and neat, I usually scrape and rinse everything before loading. I run it almost everyday without issue.

Not saying that this is your issue but if your wife, husband, or kids are overloading it or just piling shite up in there that could potentially cause issues.

Me and the kids have a bad habit of overloading the washing machine causing efficiency issues in both the washing and drying process. That's why my wife is the Captain of the Laundry room.
